Didn't you get the memo? We've already signed a secret MAP with NG. No need to lead us into it at all :D

A secret map of what? Atlantis? ;)

Hey everybody!

 

So I'm sitting there with an NS of just about 8k. I had my tech knocked down to around 800 and I was getting an amazing "ish" kicking for about 1 month. I did however have about 1.4 billion sitting in my bank and could have continued being in a state of war with NG for at least another 6 months. And they knew this.....

 

Then, someone from NG reported my user name and I was promptly banned. Keep in my that the alliance that welcomed me in with the same user name 2 years ago was all of a sudden offended, many of the members I've been playing with for about 7 years now. Keep in mind that my nation was closing in on 3000 days old. Same user name.

 

I feel like I'm about to go out of character and possibly off topic here. I haven't used the forums much and I haven't played a huge role in this portion of the game. This may or may not be my last farewell post, but here it goes.....

 

This is my version of what's happening right now:

 

I know Riddick in real life. He had enough of the game and choose to go rogue. A few weeks into his crusade, he had requested some aid from me. I originally said no, but Riddick explained that Caustic had already sent him aid. Being extremely inactive on the forums, all I did was check the aid screen, saw that Riddick was telling the truth and then proceeded to send Riddick 4.5 million. Nothing was said to me by anyone from any level of NG government. I assumed that this was just an NG mentality thing. It was an opportunity for NG to have some fun and continue to stay at a state of war  to combat the boredom that comes with the game from time to time.

 

10 days later, Riddick again requested aid. I didn't even think twice this time and sent another 4.5 million. I was actually kind of hoping we could keep Riddick alive long enough that I would be able to go a few rounds with him. I was messaged later that day by Caustic who wasn't happy. I answered questions about why I did it (because he sent aid) and was asked not to do it again. Now, because Caustic had originally sent aid, I figured "to hell with him telling me what to do", and responded to him with something very similar to that. I vowed to send aid again.

 

Instead of taking the next 10 day (or even 2 mins) to explain to me why Caustic aided Riddick in the first place, I was deemed a rogue and jumped immediately. I however did not realize this as I was out of town for a few days.

 

When I returned and saw what was happening I figured that it's been a great 7 years of playing this game and maybe it was time to go out with a bang. This was my choice. I'm not here to plead with anyone. I'm not looking for sympathy. I wanted this war, I'm ready for this war and all I want to a fair shake on my way out the door.

 

*** Before I go any further, I'd like to point out that while Riddicks tactics for obtaining money are effective, these are not the lows that I sink to. I have never ripped a nation off or sent out a false message. I've never had to. Riddick wasn't much of a warchest guy. I've played a fair game since day 1. I would challenge anyone to challenge that statement.

 

Moving on....,

 

A few days ago I was offered white peace from NG. Dispite the attacks, I was willing (eager) to stay in the alliance and made a request of 3000 tech. A little bit more than I lost at war with them not not even close to what I had given to them since joining....merging.....whatever.

 

The following is a facebook conversation between Caustic and I. I'm not even really sure if I understand what is being said to me (so any help with that would be great): (I"ve edited out last names)

    so I am sorry

     

    I really did jump the gun, and I get why you were confused

     

    I was just sick of dave dumping nukes at will on our mid tier

     

    the reason I sent aid was because dave promised to give his nation up to one of our guys

     

    so I sent 3 mil to get him out of bill lock to preserve it

     

    our guy went to the game admin, donated some money, worked out a deal for admin to ignore the usual nation gifting rules

     

    so we let dave go, figuring done deal, it was over

     

    it wasn't

     

    he dropped into PM

     

    restocked, and came back out swinging

     

    hence why I just went balls out

     

    so I'm sorry about that

    3k tech

    and dave?

     

    what happens to him in this scenario

     

    for you, I'm pretty sure we can work something out

     

    but dave will be a tough sell

     
  • Matt

    I'll let you know tomorrow

     

    talking with the crew now

 

So what I thought was a fair deal, turned into me finding out I've been banned the next day. (thanks for "letting me know", Caustic)

 

This isn't the first bit of shady business I've come across since this crap started, but I wasn't going to play dirty. Until now.

 

Riddick, myself and a few other friends from real life started playing this game awhile ago. Caustic knows I have other real life friends out there playing this game and was worried they would follow us out of the game and turn on NG. One of my real life friends however isn't that bright. "A few months ago", unbeknownst to us, one of our friends gave his nation to caustic. In a conversation between Riddick and that nation (Buttland II), it's revealed that the nation was given up. I'm not sure who has been running this nation since but it sure isn't the original owner.

 

EDIT: WHERE CAN I UPLOAD A PICTURE??

 

 

 

 

So I've been unbanned. I can post. I'm awaiting an decision from admin as to whether or not my nation can be restored. The MOD who banned and removed my nation has taken complete blame and stated that every detail was overlooked when this harsh decision was made. So my fingers are crossed.

 

I hope this isn't the last you see of me. If I get my nation back I will be living out my time here as a rogue, so... go me!
